    LOL. The way Harden is demanding the ball, what is the point to acquire a true PG? Don't tell me that you want Rondo to camp at behind the 3 point line and shoot it when there is 3 seconds left on the shot clock.

    LOL some of you have expected an imminent trade of Jeremy Lin since November 2012.

    My idea? I'm only explaining to glacier what that tweet meant because he doesn't seem like he's comprehending. I don't claim to be sure one way or the other what the real deal is.

    Rondo would whack that hot potato back to Harden with 1 second left on the shot clock.

    Harden will simply fake flopping all over the place and let the ball goes out of bound.

    Mhmm. Rondo and Harden on the same team just spells out disaster to me.

    In the 7 games with Harden out with injury (excluding one game where Lin played 4 minutes only), Lin averaged:

    19.8 pts, 46% FG, 47% 3ptFG, 5.8 assists, 3.7 TOs (A:T 1.6), 2.8 reb, 1.3 steals, 0.8 blks, and made 37 FTs (or over 5 per game).

    I would prefer Lin to be traded.
    He is a starter and his talents are wasted sitting on the bench.

    I totally agree. This system doesn't work for him...He needs to be running the offense with more usage per game. I've watched a few of his linsanity games over the weekend and wow the game plays are so exciting and different from what I'm used to seeing in Houston. He was constantly moving, distributing and attacking the rim whereas in Houston he's camps around the 3pt line waiting for option 1 and 2 to **** up before he's given the chance to do anything. I say trade him and trade McHALE and Sampson. This team has proven to have talent I'm just not convinced with the coaching strategy.

    Imagine if Lin got traded to the Lakers.
    Lin + D'Antoni = Linsanity 2.0!

    To those above: Rockets are a top organization. Very good owner. Great GM. Mediocre coaches.

    Lin/Harden can work, need both to adjust their games slightly, but it can be very potent. Don't think the coaches are up to it.

    The L.O.F.'s, unapologetic to the last.

    Lin the Wonderful. Lin the Magnificent. Lin the Unappreciated.

    Seriously, today Harden is just one angle twist from this being a serious reality for the Rockets. So for those fans who are dead on getting rid of Lin, who on the team will be the next playmaker after Harden is injured for an extended period of time for us to remain competitive?

    The organization is hyping Parsons as the secondary playmaker.

    If they trade Lin, I would doubt they would be as dumb as to not get a starting PG in return somehow. That would be incredibly stupid.
